I owned an MSI GS66 Stealth (with an RTX 3070 Ti and 12th Gen i7). I bought it used, and after some time, lines appeared on the screen. They would come and go, so I took it back to the shop where I bought it. While the laptop was running, the technician decided to disassemble the screen assembly to test it; he connected the panel without the outer casing, and the lines reappeared. There were two technicians there; one moved the screen, and the connection to the laptop cut out, even though the laptop itself remained powered on. Eventually, we discovered the (IC) was faulty. I sent it to another state for repairs, a process that took three months due to the poor conditions in my country. After the IC was replaced, the technician called to say there was another issue. He identified it as a problem with the (chip) and stated that the motherboard needed to be replaced. Is there really no other solution? He only mentioned "the chip"—I’m not sure if there are specific types or variations involved.

I have msi gs66 stealth and i can't find msi true color in Microsoft store. I tried downloading it from the site but it seems it's an old version. Anyways it tells me that application only supports authentic msi devices

I got this msi gs66 after a long time of using a shitty laptop. I noticed that when I open it there's some friction in a specific point when I am opening it.

It's a slight friction and I didn't notice at first. What do yall think?

I was really excited but now I'm worried and I don't want to really use it unless I know more about it.

I want to buy a laptop because my old laptop is so old and actually it's garbage (intel celeron 1005m)

The market in our area isn't the best. I found someone who said he'd order it for me from abroad, but the device is used (it's the one in the picture, and these are its specifications). According to him, someone he knows uses it. I asked him to run tests on the device, but he said I should do them after I receive it, and that it comes with a 6-month warranty. Its price is high for the market, I think. $990. What do you think?
